Academic Mentoring and Peer Support Program
The SECM Academic Mentoring and Peer Support Program aims to aid student/early career members of the Society by providing mentoring and peer support in the areas of professional development (e.g., conference proposals, grant applications), scholarly resources (e.g., bibliography, archives), and careers in academia (e.g., job documents, interview prep). Students/early career members of SECM, as well as established scholars of 18th-century music who are interested to serve as a mentor, are invited to visit the program website for more information and to submit an interest form. All interest forms are due by October 15, 2024.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) Teaching Resources for Music: The 1700s: A Diverse Century
Welcome to SECM’s Teaching Resources that promote diversity, equity, and belonging. We hope the resources below will expand the ways we teach and think about eighteenth-century music. The following webpages include articles, book chapters, websites, and other resources to help teachers and students learn more about how music from the 1700s intersects with racism, slavery, imperialism, and social discrimination as well as ways to address that legacy in our classrooms.
